Breaking Up Is Hard to Do
Introverted-false-extrovert that I am, I people-watch. I am especially fond of contemplating those engaged in romantic relationships. How do they function as a unit yet still remain seperate? What keeps them together? What makes them...
We’re Done
A funny thing happened the other night.
I had lain down to sleep after having a really busy day at work and no sign of stress relief from the home front. It seemed as if I’d just dozed off real good when I felt a nudge waking me up. My...
Un-break My Heart
When I think about Billy Wayne these days, it is with clinical detachment—as though he is a character in a novel I must study in order to pass a course. That is really all he has ever been to me, a ghostly shadow given substance by the...
My (not-so) Secret Issue with Being Submissive
I hate falling in love. My love is voracious, eating partners alive with my insatiable need. I can barely hold myself together, teetering between being completely call0us and dispassionate to violently obsessive.
I doubt I’m the only...
Are Divorcees Damaged Goods
We have all met this person, or are related to this person, or have heard of this person… the (wo)man who has been married and divorced four times, can’t manage to stay in a marriage for more than three years, are ready to jump...
Breaking Up: Choosing Between Two People
Breaking up with someone is never easy. Well, let me take that back. In some instances, it’s the easiest decision to make, when it just involves you and one other person. In my case, though, it was a difficult decision, not only because...
Breaking Up Is Hard to Do
It’s over… the love is gone… time to move on… so now I just need to get my stuff and go. I can move on with my life and now my new “ex” can too, right?
WRONG!
Why is it not ever that easy?
Why does it usually seem like...
My Choice to Break Up with a Married Man
I honestly have to say I never thought I would find myself in a situation like this. I have watched it on TV so many times screaming at the TV at women’s stupidity and how she can’t see that he is never going to leave his wife. Then...
Expect the Unexpected
At the very beginning of my relationship I came into it with certain expectations. In my head, I told myself that I wasn’t going to allow him to do this and he better do that. Past that, since I am clearly the woman here he better do...
I Cheated Myself
As I watched the weekend marathon run of “Millionaire Matchmaker” (don’t judge me), Patti had me enthralled as she read a 44 year-old multi-millionaire concerning his short-lived romances. “You’re always looking...
A Man’s Perspective: Update – Someone Else Will
I have an update from a post I did a couple of weeks ago Someone Else Will. It was about a man who was dealing with his lack of affection from his girlfriend.
I spoke to him today.
ME: “Wassup, Man?”
HIM: “Nothin much.”
ME: “So…how...
Dear “The Wife of Him”
Dear “The Wife of Him”,
I know you may not want to hear this, but simply put, I love him too. When he is with me, he treats me like a queen and makes me feel a way I would never be able to explain. When I met him, I had no knowledge...
A Cheat Among Us
Back in 1972, Luther Ingram said “If loving you is wrong, I don’t want to be right”, Usher sang about his “Confessions”, Alliyah chanted “If Your Girl Only Knew”, TLC made us all think about going out to “Creep”. Even Carrie...
